Yesterday, I looked at the fact that we all have five senses, and these senses we have are the means the devil has been using to get through to people, which includes those born of God. And as we know, all the devil does to those born of God is to ensure that they don't hold on to the finished work of Jesus. And it does this by using our senses.
Now, the senses could stand as a foundation that our thoughts rest on or a foundation that could define our thought process, and if the devil uses the physical senses, and going by what the scriptures says on and on, that those born of God shouldn't walk by the physical senses, but by faith, it is clear to say that there are other sets of senses that are Spiritual and not physical. And today, my focus is to look at these Spiritual senses and how to harness them as we grow in this newness in Christ Jesus.
Walk by faith, and not by sight or the physical senses. I would like us to calm down and understand one thing, and that is the fact that our physical senses are in the subject of influence. In other words, our physical senses are extractors, and whatever you send through them, they consider them as real.
So, when we as Sons and Daughters of God are to make use of faith to live our lives here on earth. What it means is that the senses here on earth are fed by something else aside faith, which is considered a reality. Stay with me.
We come from heaven, and there is a way heaven operates, and the only way we are to tap into that realm is through faith.
Now, to live here on earth for a Son or Daughter of God is to see with senses of the heavens. Jesus while here on earth said, whatever He sees His Father do, that is what He does, (ref.: John 5:19). This is to imply that Spiritual senses should control the physical senses here on earth.
Faith on the other hand isn't really a sense in itself, but a means to harness the real senses we have obtained in Christ Jesus. And if you recall what Galatians 2:20 says, now that I have crucified this flesh, which includes the five senses, "I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." KJV This means that our spiritual senses are the senses Jesus Himself carry, since He is our life and our life is based and dependent on His very existence, because without Him, we are dead!
The question would be if man sees sickness, what is Jesus seeing?
Going back a little, the scripture says in Romans 10:17 that faith comes by HEARING, and what we hear is actually THE WORD OF GOD—JESUS!
We have no faith, as it is established in Galatians 2:20 and Hebrews 12:2, because the faith we think we have as Sons and Daughters of God is the very faith of Jesus.
So, our aim in life is really to see, hear, smell, taste and feel as Jesus does right now. And the only way to harness this is by faith which to know exactly who He is. And as we soak ourselves in WHO HE IS, IN HIS PERSON, we unleash the very essence of Him, thus unleashing the spiritual senses.
The Bible has already told us in 1 Corinthians 2:16 that we have the mind of Christ Jesus. The only way we can harness the way He thinks is to soak ourselves in Him, because we are already in Him in the Spirit, but the senses are the way we open the door of the Spiritual to become real in the physical.
Know this, as Sons and Daughters of God, we don't have a life (outside Christ Jesus), because Jesus is our life. This is NO figure of speech.
Jesus when here on earth, didn't have a life, because God was His life. So, His senses were the very senses of God. This was why is was clear when He told Philip in John 14:9 and 10 that if you have seen Him, you have seen the Father, He is in the Father and the Father is in Him, just because they have the exact same mind, thought process and senses. And whatever His senses stands on to call real, were the exact thing God the Father stood on to call real.
Harnessing the Spirit senses is to first of all know that you have no senses at all. Soak yourself in Jesus—His word, being led by the Holy Spirit. So, when the scripture says we are walk by faith and not by sight, it is clearly saying trust, believe, rely on the senses of Jesus, and not the senses of the earth. And the senses of Jesus can NEVER be influenced by the devil.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
